{"product_id":"9781032868356","title":"Paranormal and Anomalous Experiences in Therapy: A Practitioner's Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking book gives counselors, psychologists, social workers, clergy, and other helping professionals the tools they need to ethically and compassionately support clients who report paranormal or anomalous experiences. Without debating the reality of ghosts, visions, or unexplained encounters, Dr. Steve F. Bain and Dr. Kristopher K. Garza focus on what truly matters-the emotional and psychological impact such experiences can have on a person's life. This book offers strategies for bracketing personal beliefs, fostering empathy, and guiding clients toward meaning and peace. For the first time, mental health professionals are provided with a concise, accessible resource that bridges the gap between clinical training and the lived realities of those who face the mysterious. This readable, practical book is the definitive resource for introducing compassionate skills that you as a professional can implement in your sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Key features include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMulticultural Approach:\u003c\/b\u003e Understand how culture affects work with clients dealing with unexplained phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheoretical Foundations:\u003c\/b\u003e Learn from time-honored theoretical perspectives that provide a basis for assisting clients with perception, awareness, acceptance, and personal growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEthical Considerations:\u003c\/b\u003e Examine ethical obligations to practice and model non-maleficence, beneficence, and veracity when working with clients reporting unexplained phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eG.H.O.S.T.
